TAYLOR Wimpey has saw its share price advance 4.5 per cent in early trading after posting a 9.1 per cent boost in revenue for the six months to July 3.

With sales of £267 million, chief executive Pete Redfern said the company was yet to see any meaningful impact on its order book from Brexit.

"One month on from the EU Referendum, current trading remains in line with normal seasonal patterns. Customer interest continues to be high, with a good level of visitors both to our developments and to our website," said Mr Redfern.

Taylor Wimpey completed a total of 6,019 homes, excluding joint ventures, up 3.0 per cent in the period. Profit before tax and exceptional items was up 12.1 per cent to £267m.
